Well ,all of it ?Which bit ?
By a hhouse here for 500k gets you residency .I think they have an open invitation for Russians as well if they can pay for it
True but in many cases under EU regulations you cannot apply for nationality . They spent years fobbing people off who wanted it as "not necessary" . Even here you had to be here 10 years before you could even apply.or really people who live in a country but hold another country passport are really just cuckoos and reality residents.

I know this thread has not been giving the answers that @Pyke13 wanted but it should be noted that other countries laws are very different to the UK, the suggestion above is very unfair to newby ex pats like @klaatu wanting to make a home in France, because it is illegal to pay cash for work without proof that it is a registered business doing the work. It is the householder who will be in trouble possibly much later. The Banks even supply special cheque books for paying casual labour. You give a cheque for say €50 the bank pays the worker €50 but deducts that plus the tax from your account. That's not to say that it does not go on, because it does, all the time but those doing the hiring should be awair of the possible consequences. In some cases it has even stopped the sale of a house because black labour was used in the construction or renovation. I wish you well @Pyke13 but unless you can prove that you are of the culture suggested by your name, I think you will struggle.If you get French residency and happen o need a builder/landscape gardner. I may have a proposition for you.
I don't know the answers I'm afraid.
However I live in Guernsey and although we are technically out of the EU we are called something like 'associate members' due to our status as a British Crown Dependency.
Will VAT and TVA (or equivalent tax in other countries) still be equally recognised Europe wide?
I ask this because several channel islanders have been caught by raids on various garage morts, French friends driveways, sheds etc. and received hefty fines and told to leave because they do not have VAT/TVA documentation.
Once out of the EU will British VAT still be accepted as equivalent to TVA? If not there could be problems ahead.
I think that answers the question. A vehicle visiting the EU should be fine if it is legal in the country it came from - a Russian vehicle driving into the EU doesn't have to pay VAT if it is only visiting*. But the cases you mention suggest these vehicles were being kept in France so I guess they need to comply as if the owner was resident in France.Sorry, should have pointed out that these peeps had motorhomes stored in France.
Completely depends on your circumstances. If you're impoverished, without property, income , forced to leave your own country you are entitled to very little in France unless you're a French citizen, EU member or aFrench tax payer.
I found when I worked first of all in Eastern Europe (1990s) and then Africa ( 2003-4) there was a huge myth of " Britain provides" I had African women, qualified teachers, begging to work for me in a care home for £2 an hour. When I pointed out this was illegal for them and me I was looked at as if I was mad. To them the streets of Britain really were paved with gold. In Eastern Europe I was told it was easy living in Britain because everyone got given a mobile phone and a car. I was more or less called a liar when I stated this was untrue.
If you've retired ( or got a good trade and are willing to work hard) and a bit of money in reserve, then moving abroad can be wonderful---- less stressful, warmer, interesting, better food. If my partner hadn't died I'd still be living on a mountain in the Pyrenees.... but France got too tough on my own and now I have a chronic illness my head knows I'm better off in the UK but my heart wishes I was still on that French mountain.
Somehow I dont think you will pass the attitude test on your first encounter .
If you can afford to lose the lot , and get deported go for it .
".......................and its certainly changing in other than expected ways, whether that is going to be a positive is very debatable at this time." (tacr2man)
I would say, tacr2man, the debate - if there ever was one - is over and the verdict in.
IMHO
(We live in Germany.)
I shouldn’t think so !Just wondering about reciprocal arrangements, there must be tens of EU residents who want to full time in UK after Brexit, mustn't there?
If the EU police this correctly then would I be right in saying that any full timing in the EU, Post-Brexit, would be dead in the water. The only exceptions would be the 'golden ticket' rule whereby you pay €500K for residency via a property portfolio investment (Spain and Cyprus etc).
(As an example): This is the most recent link from the Spanish Govt as disseminated by the FCO today:

Je pense signifié comme une blagueI shouldn’t think so !
they know your there as your passport is swiped either in uk or there and everyone knows when you went over or didnt come back. but try it if you must . vehicles need rules etc etc .
dont expect support though if you get caught . but i,m sure many will give it a go.
